Hi Melissa, Rich and Sebbaz,

And HULLO to the dev@community list!
(I've been subscribed for some time, but waiting my turn, Rich and Melissa suggested moving this discussion here)

I've prepared some early graphics for the conference (and hopefully it is flexible enough to accommodate many conferences to come).
Rather than attach them as I've previously done, I've uploaded them here;
http://www.nikashsingh.org/apache/apachecon/

Since the location has been decided, I'll go ahead and update the text in the tag to read Denver? The graphic is vector so it will scale well, I think it'd make a nice white shirt too =) (and though the idea of wearing a shirt with a lanyard while wearing a lanyard seems silly, it would make plenty of sense when worn after the conference =).

Hey Rich,

Following up on this....now that ApacheCon Denver has been announced, we should 
bump this up a bit in priority since the pages are still reflecting ACNA 2013 
Portland.

I think it might be best if you took this conversation to the list 
dev@community.apache.org  Nobody currently on this thread is a designer, and I 
think the wider audience might be better able to answer your queries.

Hi all,

And here is the proposal of how the project site landing-page
         could look. Mostly, this is achievable with a CSS-file-change
         and a couple of swapped images because I'm not majorly altering
         the layout, but the new sections below the introductory
         paragraph would require this content to be added. I can carve up
         the images into usable sizes within the columns and even write
         up the HTML that would need to be pasted into the page. I think
         it would add a friendlier touch to a page many potential
         contributors see! What do you think?

Hi Nik,
Thank you for your email, and I apologize for not getting
             back to your last email.
I will defer this technical issue to Rich for his opinion.
             I apologize, in advance, for Rich; he is extremely busy on
             other tasks, so his reply might take a little time.
Rest assured, however, this is not a time-critical issue -
             just a cosmetic change that we really need to fix!!
We appreciate your enthusiasm and willingness to undergo
             this project - thank you so much!!

*Email backlog snipped*


I've attached 2 graphics (in large and small sizes) that might
         serve as placeholder conference images.
The first is a nametag-lanyard (like most conferences offer
         their guests) with a group of feathers (metaphorical Apache
         contributors) rounded up together. If that is too cheesy, I've
         included just the lanyard as well.

Tell me what you think, if you're keen on this idea I'll send
         you the vector file which I've grouped so that the nametag can
         be easily updated with new text (my working files are always
         embarrassingly messy so they require "clean up" before I can
         send them out without shame).

Also, I noticed the projects site (http://projects.apache.org/) is a self-contained 
"branch" of the Apache online presence.
What do you think about my earlier proposal of me fixing up tiny
         details (like font-choice, spacing and reintroducing the Apache
         colours to the pages) through CSS and very limited content
         changes to improve the look of these pages? For example, the
         inclusion of icons on the landing page to give users an
         immediate indication that the projects are navigable
         alphabetically, categorically etc.
I'll attach an image showing what I mean in the next couple of
         days.

-Nik
